error -1101 when backing-up mail box


Recommended Posts

I encountered this warning on quite a few of mail boxes when I'm backing-up Exchanger Server 2003 with Rectrospect version 7.5.324

 

File "Sugo So\Sent Items\00000000c78bed087a00214ca5132d022edcbe3407005939faf49792374fb2a0bef6e668757e00000000430700001cd48b451ebb4349998ae32700c2bc930000000536720000": can't read, error -1101 (file/directory not found)

 

Does anybody the reasons behind?

 

Thanks in advance.

Tony,

We are encountering the exact same error every single day we back up the server. We generally get over 100 of these messages and we only have 60 or so mailboxes.

 

I have noticed that if we get an error for a certain message/item in the mailbox today, we do not necessary get a repeat of the error for the same message/item tomorrow.

 

I have tried enabling the option for this script, under Options -> Windows -> Outlook -> enable 'Force backup of Microsoft Outlook data'. But this has no effect.

 

If anyone knows how to resolve these errors, that would be great!

Thanks, Trevor

Just to let the Retrospect team know that we also encounter these errors. I've reported them a while ago and still no clue as to what causes this.

 

They suggested "fixing" exchange as this may cause the problem. Did that and it had no effect. I suspect that maybe the antivirus is playing a part in this as it is actively monitoring our exchange.

The most likely cause is a corrupt message in the mailbox folder noted in the error (Sent Items, Inbox, etc.). Try moving half the mail from that folder to a new folder and backup the new folder. If the problem follows the mail to the new folder split it in half and perform backups to find the problem email.
